Nicole Richie Tells Us All About Her Macy's Collaboration And Teen Style

More

Nicole Richie was a household name before she even sketched her first dress, thanks to her role on The Simple Life, an early reality TV hit. Nicole has dabbled in acting and writing (she's penned two novels) since her star turn, but it's her enviable personal style and impressive design skills that have kept her in the spotlight.
Four years ago, she debuted her jewelry line House of Harlow 1960, which has also come to include shoes and ready-to-wear. Then came a women's line called Winter Kate; like House of Harlow, it is named after her daughter with husband Joel Madden of Good Charlotte. This past spring, Nicole brought her fashion and business acumen to Fashion Star, where she served as a mentor to aspiring designers.
It was during her time on the show that she struck up a relationship with Macy's. Nicole worked alongside buyers from the department store on the competition series, so when Macy's approached her about doing a limited-edition collection for Impulse, the decision was a no-brainer. The resulting '70s-inspired collab is infused with Nicole's signature boho glamour, with its asymmetrical skirts, bold retro prints, and luxe fabrics.
We recently sat down with the designer to chat about Nicole Richie for Impulse, teen style, and bad hair days.

The designer dishes on her Impulse collection, design process, and mortifying fashion moments. (Plus we have pictures of all the goods!)
